ZAMBIA OUT-GOALS KENYA

KENYA’S national team, Harambee Stars, on Sunday fell 0-1 to Zambia’s Chipolopolo (Bullet) in an Africa Cup of Nations Group Six qualifying round at the Moi Sports Centre in Nairobi. The Kenyans, cheered by a capacity crowd which included President Daniel arap Moi, threw everything in the attack but the chase for the equaliser proved elusive, either because chances were thrown overboard or were simply thwarted by the hawk-eyed Zambia defense. Zambia’s single goal was netted in the 12th minute by centre forward Dennis Lota, who plays for South Africa’s Orlando Pirates.
